Highly Efficient NAS Solution – QSAN XN8016R

Ingenious NAS Systems

The XN8016R Series is a next generation, highly efficient NAS system which is designed for enterprise applications. The XN8016R is powered by Intel® Kaby Lake processors and up to 128GB of DDR4 ECC RAM.

The PCIe expansion slots give the XN8016R the flexibility to respond to various application demands. 10GbE network adapter card is supported to greatly enhance the data transmission speeds, and two onboard SAS 12Gb/s wide ports are also supported for scalability with our expansion enclosures.

Modulization Hardware Platform Design

XN8016R is designed in Modular System. All major components are customer replaceable units, providing IT easy upgrade and maintenance. The N+1 System components are fully redundant, cable-less and hot-swappable FRUs (field-replaceable units) design, including controller, power supplies, fans and host cards.

Thunderbolt™ 3 adapter card (XN-TB302) is an add-on card for QSAN XCubeNAS series*. You can create lightning throughput and reliable connectivity between QSAN NAS storage systems and a workstation, MacBook or iMac directly with the QSAN Thunderbolt™ 3 solutions.

In addition to the lighting throughput, the Thunderbolt™ 3 ports can directly be attached to the QSAN XCubeNAS series products for expanding client’s data storage capacity or hook up as an external device for fast data backup to the QSAN NAS. Thunderbolt™ 3 is not only a reliable data transmission tunnel but also provides more than a 100% increase in bandwidth than the 2nd generation.

QSAN XCubeNAS with a Thunderbolt™ 3 adapter is an ideal solution for throughput demanding applications such as video editing and production, music production, digital photography editing, high-speed external device data backup to NAS and more…

Optional High-Speed 10G/40G Adapter Card

A 10GbE/40GbE (10 Gigabit/ 40 Gigabit Ethernet) network is essential for businesses that demand high bandwidth for virtualization, and fast backup and restore for an ever-growing amount of data. The XN8012R is an affordable and reliable storage solution for deploying a 10GbE / 40GbE environment.

Rio-2 provides backup software the fastest and easiest way to send backup data directly to Amazon S3 or Object Storage using an iSCSI VTL, SMB or NFS protocol.

Carlsbad, CA – February 27, 2017 – BridgeSTOR, LLC, the company making cloud storage accessible, today announced the Rio-2 Cloud Backup Server a hybrid appliance designed for backup, archiving, migrating and tiering of backup data to private or public cloud storage. Rio-2 allows backup software to easily transfer backup data to Cloud Storage via an iSCSI VTL or NAS interface using local disk to store the most active files while accelerating the transfer of data to the cloud with hi-speed background threads greatly reducing the backup window. The Rio-2 VTL interface includes compression and is an ideal solution for migrating existing tapes to Amazon S3 or Glacier by storing tape data as a single object reducing the dependency of legacy tape hardware. As a hybrid appliance files or tapes may seamlessly be restored from local disk or from the cloud without the knowledge of the backup software. Rio-2 may easily be added to the BridgeSTOR Global File system by adding the BridgeSTOR Global View Manager which would allow backup data to be shared between multiple locations. Rio-2 also adds advanced encryption by combining SSL and AES-256-bit encryption guaranteeing backup data is transferred and stored in an encrypted format.
“I believe the Rio-2 is the simplest and easiest way to send backup data or existing tapes to private or public cloud.”, says John Matze, CEO, BridgeSTOR, LLC. “The Rio-2 Cloud Server has been designed by engineers with over 40 years of tape and VTL knowledge.” The Rio-2 Cloud Server is scheduled to ship on March 19, 2018.

“BridgeSTOR was founded in 2010 by storage industry veterans sharing a common vision – Create a solution that allows the Cloud to be used as normal storage. This vision was solidified after receiving a Request for Product (RFP) from one of the world’s largest Media & Entertainment organizations. The RFP called for a global namespace with global file locking, file versioning, intelligent caching and a laundry list of additional enterprise feature sets. The subsequent discussions sparked our imaginations and challenged us to rethink data access all together.
